Button that opens and closes doors

[Kanthos]

I made it. The battle is over.
Thx Mug, it was a lot of experimenting,but i made it. Puh.

If you have time consider making a little guide for swingdoors (and regular doors) on the wiki so people with the same problem can solve it easier.
Just a suggestion.

I don´t think i have the rights in the wiki to do so. As you you can see, i´m pretty new to this forum and wiki

But i can post it here!

So to open and close most doors in Soma with a button just set under the buttons entity->connection->ConnectedEntity the doors name you want to open.

(If you want to open more doors with one button, set a comma between the two names)

(If you want to have two buttons for one door and pressing one button should influence the state of the other button, connect also the two buttons with each other.)


To OPEN the heavy tau radiation swingdoor you need a script under MainCallbacks:

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
void OnChange_BulkheadOpen(const tString &in asEntity, int alState){


//Entity_SetInteractionDisabled(asEntity, true);

tString sDoor = "cool1";

Entity_PlayAnimation(sDoor, "swingdoor_tau_radiation_open_swing", 0, false, true, "Animation_BulkheadUnlocked");
Map_AddTimer(sDoor, 20.0f, "NuclearDoorSwingOpen");

}

void NuclearDoorSwingOpen(const tString &in asTimer)
{

Sound_CreateAtEntity("DoorSwingingOpen", "04_02_tau_inside/SFX/nuclear_bulkhead/swinging", asTimer);

}

void Animation_BulkheadUnlocked(const tString &in asEntityName, const tString &in asAnimName)
{
Timer_OpenBulkhead(asEntityName);
Map_AddTimer("cool1", 3, "TimerDeactivateEntity");


Map_AddTimer("cool1", 1, "TimerLockMovingButton");
Map_AddTimer("cool1", 1, "TimerAllowMovingButtonTurnOff");


Map_AddTimer("timer_deactivateblocker", 6.25f, "TimerDeactivateFirstBulkheadBlocker");

}

void Timer_OpenBulkhead(const tString &in asTimer)
{
SwingDoor_SetLocked(asTimer, false, true);
SwingDoor_PushOpen(asTimer, 0.02, 90,0.2);
}

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////



with cool1 as the doors name, you just need to set under the buttons entity->BasicCallbacks->ConnectionStateChangeCallback OnChange_BulkheadOpen

Unfortunately i don´t know how to close it, but maybe you find something in the tau_inside script.

I havent played around with swing doors yet
when i get the chance, if no one has beat me to it, ill recap this in a wiki page once ive looked it over (with credit to you of course)
as far as closing it, its probably possible to do but i dont think its part of the game. I dont remember closing any large doors in tau.
also, have your 1st +rep!

thx, would be proud to contribute a part to the wiki

@spiritofvale:

in the main game you can´t close the radiation_swingdoors, but there´s an red airlock-swingdoor in phi that you can open and close.

Btw: red airlock-swingdoors function like "most doors" (see above)

[Vale]

Makes sense, but i think it would be possible to make a reversed 'closing' animation for the large doors if modders dont mind working with custom assets.
